Speak Lord Your Servant Hears

Young Samuel sits quietly inside the tabernacle tent, clothed in simple Israelite garments and holding a small burning lamp. The dim sanctuary setting, folded bedding, clay floor, and vessel beside him evoke the night when the Lord called Samuel by name while he served under Eli. The flame becomes the visual center of the scene, recalling the lamp of God that had not yet gone out and the spiritual awakening of a child who learned to answer God with obedience: “Speak, for your servant hears.” This artwork is suited for teaching on calling, listening prayer, children in ministry, Old Testament narratives, and the faithfulness of God to speak across generations. by Erik Stenbakken
